It is a good little lens, but after couple days of playing around, I still want the 50L to mount on my 5D MK II for everyday walk around. Anyway, with little more money in the bank from the refund, I think I am going to get the 135L tmr~!

Especially when i am shooting wedding and long hours on location job. That's why I got the f/4 IS in the first place. And I just sold my 24-70 just because it is too heavy for my taste. When I first got the 24-70, I really like the extra weight. But after starting to shoot for money, I don't like the heavy lens anymore. It is such a burden to carry all those gears with me.

So you are planning to cover the 24-70 with 50L? maybe a second body? 5D3 Gripped / 17-40L / Σ35 / 40 Pancake / Zeiss 50 MP / Σ85 / 100L Macro / 70-200 f2.8L II IS / 430 EX II / 580 EX II / Canon 2xIII TC / Kenko Ext.

I don't think need another body. And to cover the 24-70, I have the 17-40 and my 50L, that should be plenty.
